You can also send money to retailers and shopkeeper by just scanning their specific QR code, and there are lots of shops and retailers who started accepting Paytm after the currency ban.

Plastic Money (Cards)

I think you are wondering what are Plastic Money. Is it made of plastic? NO, you are also very familiar with Plastic money. Plastic money calls debit and credit cards. These are a traditional way to make cashless payments. You can shop online, order food online using your debit and credit cards. For offline payment on shopping malls and stores, you just have to swipe your card in POS (Point Of Sale) machines. However, if you withdraw money from ATMs and use real money to spend, then it will not be an entirely cashless transaction. To use these cards, you just need your name, card number, expiry date and CVV number. That’s enough to make transactions in few seconds without cash.

Net Banking

This is also similar to the previous method. But it is also another traditional way to make cashless payments. It’s very simple. You just need a bank account which is enabled for net banking or internet banking, registered mobile number for OTP and a username & password. Most of the time, we use it to pay online. But you can also pay the amount by just entering receiver’s bank account number, name and IFSC code. Just log in to your net banking account by entering correct username and password, enter amount and receiver’s details and send money. However, at the time of paying online, even you don’t need to enter the amount.

Bharat QR Code

It is the newest way to transfer money digitally. Recently, Indian Government has launched this new medium of cashless payments. Using this, you just need to scan the Bharat QR code of receiver and then enter the amount and send money. However, in the case of dynamic Bharat QR code, even you don’t need to get into the amount. The big advantage of this is you can transfer between every banks and e-wallet too. That means it made a bridge between all banks and digital wallets. The good news is for retailers because from now, they don’t need to spend money for buying Point Of Sale (POS) machines to accept payments from their customers. Know More About Bharat QR Code
